Climate Change vs. Conservation

I think it is common sense. We have one planet and we have to take care of it. Period. Let's take politics out of that part. Recycle, Reuse and Reclaim.

I took a college course on Conservation and it stuck. I have very little garbage.

Let the politicians kill each other over this. I am doing my part.

All of us doing our part can make a huge difference.
Especially boycotting anything with a high carbon or methane footprint
and not letting rubbish and pollution end up in waterways and oceans.

We can change our lives to be greener one bit at a time.
As each new practise becomes the norm, it turns out to be easy.

For those who can't afford the bigger items like battery backed solar voltaic power and electric bikes and cars,
we still need govt funded initiatives.
Big Business is already starting to transition, so world govts are proving to be the last and biggest stumbling block.
We still do need govt to pass legislation and spend money on infrastructure to create solutions.
I agree that it needs to be non-partisan, not a left-right policy split, but rather both sides realising the costs of doing nothing or too little too slowly will disastrous for everyone.

@hartfire I just have to say one more thing before I go. It says a lot about who you are obviously you’re a very fair, smart, caring person so again good on you for being such a good example.

@Funlov I get it. There are times on this site when people are so oppositional.
Conflict is the foundation of storytelling and drama - many people's favourite source of entertainment.
But can be so costly in real life.

I believe there are usually solutions to every problem,
starting from the principle of creative thinking
so that everyone's (all sides) needs are met.

It's sad that our democratic and legal systems favour competition, win-lose, and creativity in dirty tactics.
One the one hand, democracy saves us from the worse problems of civil wars (change by force.)
On the other, it is cumbersome, tends to mediocrity and inefficiency, and often lets minorities suffer as they fall through the gaps.
Yet not all democracies suffer these problems to the same degree, so we could probably learn a lot from others.

I do think we could invent ways to do democracy better.

By the way, I love good chats about meaningful topics.
Thank you so much for your generosity! :)

@hartfire I think it is sad that anything good for the planet has been placed in the New Green Deal which is not what this is about. It is about US being good stewards of our planet. It is about US taking responsibility for our part.
